We need to keep our emotions in check, because after so many relationships, we may tend to get carried away thinking, “It doesn’t matter whether it’s right or wrong, because even if it’s wrong, we’ll still be able to get away with it anyway.”

The taker in you would think that it’s perfectly alright because the taker only wants to benefit self.
On the other hand, the giver in you would say no, because the giver knows what’s best for the other party and would take extreme caution not to cause any physical or emotional hurt, sometimes even at the expense of self.

Someone asked me about my views on natural selection. I was prepared for a long discussion because a few days ago, I noticed that he was reading Richard Dawkin’s book titled The God Delusion.

As I had expected, the discussion soon erupted into a debate between God and Science.

My question to him was, “Which is easier to believe if you saw a stack of coins neatly placed on the ground: Did someone place it there on purpose, or did someone drop it there by accident?”

While we cannot rule out the impossibility of the latter happening, it is easier to convince yourself that it was indeed someone who placed a product of order and sophistication there on purpose. The stack of coins symbolizes the world we are living in. It would be very sad if you tried to convince yourself with a mathematical near-impossibility, and believe that the world you are living in is just the result of a huge cosmic accident.

The truth is, God came before Science did.

Science had never, and will never be able to come out with any equation strong enough to prove God’s inexistence. Science is just a supporting tool, not a weapon of war. For eg. God gives us visions and dreams, but Science would explain that these are just hallucinations.

This allows me to conclude that, contrary to The God Delusion, God and Science can co-exist without any reason for debate because while Science may always have an argument for every supernatural occurance, it also explains how the supernatural can take place naturally.

I alighted from the bus at Clementi Ave 6 and was walking along the pavement with all the cars zooming down the straight road.

Suddenly, I heard 2 cats fighting under the drain. One of them jumped out and made a mad dash across the road. The other one gave chase.

None of the cars slowed down and my heart skipped a beat. I’ve seen dead cats with their heads already flattened on the expressway but I’ve never witnessed the process.

Thank God I was spared the agony of watching the 2 stupid cats die. Both of them made it to the other side.

I think sometimes we are like that. We get too caught up in our short-term targets, not focusing on what the bigger picture is. We may get lucky and make it through, but if we’re not careful or if we’re too reckless, it may cost us our lives.
